After poisoning and killing his wife, the master of the house, Stephen Lowry, is blackmailed by his Cockney maid, Lily Watkins, who demands promotion.

While attempting to murder Lily, by following someone who looks like her through the fog, he mistakenly kills Constable Burke's wife and gets chased by an angry mob, which he evades.
